Crispy Smashed Potatoes

• servings: 4 servings
• active time: 10 minutes
• total time: 1 hour

Ingredients

1 ½ pounds small yellow-fleshed potatoes

¼ cup olive oil

2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

1 teaspoon butter at room temperature

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried rosemary

½ teaspoon dried sage

½ teaspoon ground thyme

½ teaspoon dried savory

½ teaspoon sea salt

½ teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions

Gather all ingredients.

Place potatoes in a saucepan; fill with enough water to cover potatoes. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium-low and cook potatoes until tender but not mushy, about 15 to 20 minutes. Drain potatoes in a colander; transfer to a baking sheet lined with a clean dish towel and allow to cool and dry out a little, about 10 minutes.

While potatoes are cooling, mix olive oil, balsamic vinegar, butter, garlic, rosemary, sage, thyme, savory, salt, and pepper in a bowl until well combined.

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Place cooled potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Use a potato masher or the heel of your hand to lightly press down on potatoes to crush them.

Spoon the oil-herb mixture over each smashed potato.

Bake potatoes in the preheated oven until crispy, about 25 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving.

Enjoy!
